I need help please. Does anyone know what might be causing my systemui to crash after I install an edited twframework. I am on CNexus' MK3 deodexed rom. I am using ApkMultiTool with compression set to 9. I am able to decompile and recompile the twframework, but after copying to system/framework, changing permissions and rebooting, a persistant message "systemUi has stopped working" keeps popping up. At that point, I have to quickly keep pressing OK while trying to navigate over to ES file Explorer so that I can copy over the backup twframework to the system.
It could be so many things. What did you edit?

Did you copy the manifest and resources files from the original apk to the modified one?

I edited the scrollbar text color in values/color. I didn't copy the manifest over, only the resources. I didn't know I had to copy over the manifest? Is that a mandatory, I never do that and usually never have problems?
I've always had to copy the manifest, it contains the stock signatures needed for the system to verify the apk. Try that first to see if it works.
Grab a logcat. It'll tell you if it can't find a resource or whatever the issue is

I didn't realize until after you asked, I use Apk MultiTool. All you need to do is copy resources from the modded apk to the original. The original manifest remains.
I always used apk tool and I did it the opposite way, copying the manifest over to the new one where I made all the edits.

Hmmm. I didn't know to do that. Do you think it's better that way?
I can't say which way is better, that's just the way I learned. Hopefully cnexus can help more.
I'm a lot out of comfort zone with theming questions so I called in the pros for you. Should get a response or two in a bit

Hey buddy. Some edit in your tw framework is clashing with UI. UI is trying to pull a resource from twfw that isn't there anymore. No easy solution. Another reason why tw theming gives people fits and there are so many themes for aosp and not many for tw. I would start over editing small amounts at a time...
[email protected]'$ [email protected]@XY
To be in the safe zone always copy over android manifest and meta inf files. Even when using multi tool. You never know if it is going to do it for you even tho it usually does.
He's what I did for that apk.
1. Decompile
2. Make edits
3. Compile
4. Move original meta inf file to new apk
5. Move original android manifest to new apk
I haven't had any problems this way

Thanks fellas. I appreciate your help. I will definitely take all your advice and apply it going forward. You all have taught me a great deal. I'm very grateful!!
You may want to, if the previous suggestions haven't helped, throw your apk in a zip. Wipe cache/dalvik, and flash via recovery.

Thanks @1brainsurgeon. I had tried that as well, figured I would cover all bases, but that didn't work either. I finally threw in the towel and borrowed a twframework from another MK3 rom. I was then able to make my edits without any issues. Big thanks to all you guys for all your help!!

Hi.
Just wondering if it's possible for me to remove the Power Off popup which appears just before the phone restarts, goes into recovery etc.
I'm not shy with having to alter files either, so whatever it takes I'd like to know...
This is for a Deodexed JVT 2.3.5.
Thanks in advance.
are you using an app to get to recovery,download,etc...?
You can get it from my Mod, get stock files and comare the files to see what is changed.
Have fun.

Cool I'll take a look. If you could tell me the files that are changed that would narrow it down a little for me.
OK I did a file compare and there are WAY too many files which are different (including the framework-res.apk file).
Can you please narrow it down for me.
Worked it out finally.
Can you please explain how did you do it?
Thanks!
I just took Perka's advice and it worked out.
The files that needed editing are in the android.policy.jar file located in /system/framework/
I compared Perka's android.policy.jar file against mine and updated GlobalActions files that are associated with the Reboot, Shutdown etc.
It's not too hard especially if you have some kind of programming background.
My next project is to work on the 10 lockscreen mod.
This mod is very popular in there, doesn't need to explain that.
My Base "Phone.apk" file is on Deodexed JVZ |2.3.6| firmware.
Installation Guide:
Download the attached file.
Extract it
Copy "Phone.apk" File into "System/App" Folder.
Restart your Phone.
Done.
Updates:
12/16/2011: No any differences between JVZ and JW1, you can use it on JW1
Best Regards.
Thank you, was going to attempt this myself but you beat me to it lol.
I was always having problems decompiling the phone.apk, any chance you could let me know what tools you used to decompile / recompile the apk?

0- Notepad ++
1- Baksmali

3- 7 Zip
or simply use Apk Manager.
you need to change below smali file.
Code:

* Very Important
And if you want don't face to any fc error, you need to use low compression or better to use NoCompression mod.

Make sure you are decompiling it with dependencies (twframework-res.apk), decompiled /res/drawable-hdpi should not have any corrupted file (such as corrupted 9patch)

Thank you for that, that's something I actually did want to know.
I had a look at APK Manager a while ago and didn't end up having any luck decompiling properly, so I went to straight Smali / Baksmali scripts. Only ever had luck with .jar files though.
---------- Post added at 07:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 AM ----------
Also, is it possible that it's framework-res.apk that it uses and not twframework-res.apk ?? I tried twframework-res and it just sat there and did nothing, framework-res decompiled it properly.

framework-res.apk doesn't depends upon twframework-res. It should be decompiled without any dependency.

yep, you need to update apktool for use with Android 4.0
edit: more specifically...
-Wrong version of apktool (get the latest)
-Wrong verison of apktool dependancies files (same site)
-Wrong version of aapt.exe in Android SDK (get latest SDK)
Alright awesome I'll look into it tonight after work

I have the latest version of all of that and can decompile with apktool. The problem is when I build the new apk and copy over the edited files and push back to the phone the app won't work.

I pulled the music apk, edited it, rebuilt it, and put the edited files back in the original apk. I did that because I don't know how to sign my own apk so I just used the already signed one with some edited png and xml files. The thing I don't understand is that I pulled an apk once and opened it via 7zip and edited some things, pushed it back and everything was fine (changed out some icons on the contacts.apk)
Do you know where an up-to-date theming guide can be found? I'm very interested in making my own themes instead of requesting themers to make one. Learning experience and all that jazz.
Thanks.

Actually, GoogleMusic.apk is found in data/app not in system, at least in the ROM I am on. But, am I correct in assuming that I can do the same thing in this instance?
Furthermore, is there no way to theme a single application? Do I need to always theme an app, place it back into the ROM zip, and reflash said ROM?
Can I make my own flashable zip file for a single app?
Sorry to ask so many questions, I just really like tinkering with things and I would really like to get good at theming.

wut? i've never done what you guys have when it comes to compiling/decompiling and replacing stuff. i'm not so sure that works, but i'll take your word for it for now since i've never tried it either. in theory, you can decompile and change xml, recompile and replace that xml, but not if you're dealing with the actual xml folder in apks. your resources change when you mess with that. this is the same for changing smali, except something else changes (it's been a bit since i've dealt with actual dev stuff).
also, it's a big waste (and sometimes troublesome) to flash an entire ROM to update one or a few apks. making one for just testing out things in \system\ will save you time and frustration. you can also make a backup easier for if something bootloops you
Success!!!
All right, first and foremost, thank you immensely for all the suggestions Kevin and others as well.
Here's what I did. I searched the ROM zip to no avail, but then found the apk in the gapps zip. I took it out of there, decompiled, messed around with just a few png files, recompiled and put it back into the gapps zip. Flashed it and it worked. Problem is, only a couple of the edits I made showed up which brings me to my next issue, ICS optimised apps have a tonne of "drawable-***" folders. Drawable, drawable-hdpi, drawable-hdpi-v8,v9,v11, drawable-xdpi, etc....ad nauseum.
I am not messing with any smali code, xml files, or .9.png files yet as I don't know what smali does, xml is a headache, and I have heard horror stories about .9.png files.
I'm going to dink around and see if I can sort out what items need to be changed for my current dpi setting (241) and will report back any findings, but probably not tonight as I have an early course in the morning followed by work.

no decompiling is necessary for tweaking pngs.
smali code is for messing with policies, etc.
.9.png files can be a pain if you don't recompile the apk correctly.
and this should help with your dpi as far as what to edit so you can see it...

What do I do if its not Odexing my ROM after I use it?
Perhaps you should read up on what Odex is.
CousinMikeyP said:
What do I do if its not Odexing my ROM after I use it?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Stock Android implements an odex file structure, with odex meaning “optimized” dalvik executable file. As your likely aware, Android apps on your device are packaged as .apk files. That all being said, what this means is that for pretty much all of your apks there is a corresponding odex file. This goes for the framework files in .jar format as well.
For instance, on a non-rooted phone you’ll find
system/app/Phone.apk
as well as
system/app/Phone.odex
But what exactly are these odex files?
Well, when the Android OS needs to run your apps or utilize framework components, it has to parse (read/interpret) the compressed data stored in the .apk and/or .jar files. Having an odex file structure expedites this process by utilizing another file, the .odex file, which includes only the most critical data in an uncompressed format so the Android OS can quickly interpret that important information before parsing through the rest of the data held within the compressed .apks and .jars. Therefore, not all of the components of an app or framework are present in one file in an odexed sile system. I’ll elaborate on why I stress that in a moment. The goal of this scheme is to boot up faster, and generally load applications more quickly and smoother.
Ok so what is deodex?
The odexed file structure works well as an optimization tool, except for in the case of theming. Odexed apps and frameworks present a unique problem to those wanting to theme because the aspect they want to theme is broken up into two files. Typically theming involves swapping out images for home made ones, however this is simply impossible in an Odexed environment. The solution is to DeOdex the file system and reunite all of the uncompressed critical data of an app or framework back into the compressed .apk or .jar file.
Thought that would help you alot better then just telling you to read up on it because i didnt know myself
Maybe this will give you some insight

Swapping out the PNG's only works on the computer I've tried on the phone but no dice. Again, make sure you do not extract the ROM, or changing the images will not work!

I believe that is a hex value in one of the xml files. you would need to decompile and edit the xml to allow custom png images as the background.
